A second advertisement is stored in the non-volatile storage device within the computing device.

Abstract: An apparatus and method that can be used for marketing and advertising during the system check of a computer, which is one of the busiest periods that the computer or computer type device has, which occurs just before the computer or computer type device initializes its operating system and after power up. The methodology is to run various forms of advertisements/commercials while the computer or computer type device is busy. The present method calls for the advertisements/commercials to run during the time window when the system check is normally displayed at a very rapid pace, and prior to the operating system attempting to engage and run the computing device. While the system check is occurring the present invention calls for advertisements/commercials to run in the foreground covering, if not all, a portion of the monitor screen.
